Mailbox Rust Tutorial

This repo shows the steps to building a small, networked mailbox program which uses threads and concurrency.

Step 1

multirust run stable cargo new

Edit src/main.rs to contain the hello world program.

multirust run stable cargo run

Step 2

You learn to take a command line argument with args, and use a match statement to change the program's output based on the input.

Step 3

You change from using the nth to the skip iterator when picking command line args. You modify the match statement to consider the length of the list of arguments, and iterate over them with a for loop.

Step 4:

You learn about IO and TCP by modifying your program to take its input from port 7200 of localhost instead of from the command line, and give its output back over that connection as well.

Step 5:

You add concurrency and basic message buffering.
